For all the amazing, positive talk about associateships, there are aspects of it that are not glamorous or fun. In this episode, Dr. Kuba and Bethany talk about all of the sticky points that can come up between practice owners and associates. From who gets the credit on x-rays to fairly dividing up the new patients, issues can arise. Bethany encourages both the practice owner and the associate to have fair expectations of one another and to approach the relationship with mutual respect. She and Dr. Kuba discuss the importance of clear communication throughout the relationship.
